Here are some great tips for helping your children to make sense of the changing situation that we find ourselves in. I have been in contact with Mental Health Leads throughout Camden who have come together to share and compile a list of tips and links that may be helpful to you and your child/children. I hope you find them helpful! ?

Below are some links that you may find useful when talking to your child:-

The first 3 offer different ways for you to talk to your child about what is happening and how they are feeling.

Understanding Coronavirus

Helping young minds

Talking to young people

As Catholics, prayer offers us a great deal of strength during difficult times. Prayer each day as a family can be enormously comforting. Sometimes a gentle meditation before prayer can help young children to focus their minds in readiness to talk to God.

Meditation

This is a great link for helping families to focus on healthy habits.

Change for Life

I hope that you have found tips that you can use and we would encourage you to share any articles or links that you have found to be helpful at this time, just email : a.miles@rosary.camden.sch.uk

We are in this together and at the Rosary we always like to ‘Share the Love’.

Having a daily routine is a great way to keep your brain focused. It helps to ensure that you get a little bit of everything you need each day to stay healthy and well inside and out!

Here is a great timetable that was sent out by Miss Stopes Robinson. You could use it as a template to make a timetable that works for you and helps you to structure your day. 

Balloon fun: there are endless games to play with a balloon just trying to keep them off the ground or have a go at balloon tennis, you don’t even need bats kitchen utensils are just as good or just your hand.

Popcorn pushups: Put a small bowl of popcorn on the floor. Lower yourself down and stick out your tongue to get a piece of popcorn with each thrust.

Hallway bowling: You can use water bottles( with or without water)  or the inner tubes of the toilet roll and any ball. This can be a great challenge for yourself or as a family activity.
